Howard Roark Posted September 12, 2023 at 02:03 AM Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 at 02:03 AM (edited) Entering a search term in the RONR 12th ed. format (i.e. 47:48 or whatever) always returns zero results. This is true regardless of whether the term in encased in quotes. Whenever searching for discussion on a particular paragraph, this feature would be extremely useful, and would be helpful to avoid posting redundant material. (This very question is a good example: I cannot imagine that this question has not already been asked!) Is there any formatting trick that would allow searching in this way?

Shmuel Gerber Posted September 12, 2023 at 02:06 AM Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 at 02:06 AM If you're talking about the Kindle edition, use a space instead of a colon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Roark Posted September 12, 2023 at 02:09 AM Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 at 02:09 AM Actually, I'm referring to searching this forum, on a PC, using a web browser. By the way, I did try using a space rather than a colon here and that did not work either. I'm wondering if perhaps there is another wildcard character that would work.

Gary Novosielski Posted September 12, 2023 at 09:46 PM Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 at 09:46 PM That's an excellent question. I know the space works in the RONR kindle edition, but honestly I've never tried to search in the forum for a particular §:¶ citation. I can confirm it doesn't work.
